A
Hi
I'm
Bob
Seidenberg,
a
longtime
journalist
in
Evanston
and
today
this
is
Facebook
live
session,
conversation
about
the
corona
virus
and
Evanston's
response,
and
we
have
two
people
that
are
right
in
the
forefront
of
that
with
me,
mayor,
Steven,
Haggerty.
Thank
you
very
much
for
arranging
this.
This
and
Ike
OPA,
director
of
Health
and
Human
Services
thinking
quite
an
auspicious
time
mayor.
A
B
Little
bit
sure
sure,
and
thank
thank
you
Bob
Bob,
for
doing
this,
and
for
those
that
are
watching
this
I
want
everybody
to
know
you
Bob
is
not
an
agent
of
the
city.
Bob
is
a
reporter
for
the
Evanston
round.
Table
has
been
for
a
long
time
free
to
ask
us
any
any
questions
that
you
have.
We
want
to
share
and
I
want
to
share
and
Ike
in
the
city
all
the
information
that
we
have
that's
available
out
there.
B
There
may
be
certain
questions
that
people
ask
that
we
can't
share
that
information
because
of
HIPAA
laws
and
in
all
of
that,
but
we
want
people
to
have
a
better
understand.
It's
only
so
much
you
can
do
in
a
message
and
we
did.
We
I
spent
a
lot
of
time.
I
personally
wrote.
You
know
drafted
that
message.
People
from
the
city,
like
other
people,
helped
and
worked
on
that
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
fear.
There's
a
lot
of
uncertainty
out
there
about
this
virus.
B
What
I
want
people
to
or
from
the
state
what
I
want
people
to
understand
is
that
there
are
different
strategies
that
could
be
adopted.
Okay,
and
to
my
knowledge
from
all
of
these
calls,
there's
really
three
strategies
and
those
strategies
are
option,
a
let
it
run
its
course,
and
if
we
let
this
virus
run
its
course.
B
We
know
that
our
health
care
system
is
going
to
break
down
and
more
people
the
most
vulnerable
people
to
this
virus,
which
are
our
older
residents
as
well
as
people
with
compromised
immune
systems,
are
going
to
be
most
vulnerable
and
more
people
are
going
to
die,
that's
option
a
option.
B
is
flatten
the
curve,
slow
the
spread
and
that's
what
we
have
adopted
as
a
country.
B
What
we
have
adopted
as
a
community
here
in
Evanston
and
are
encouraging
everyone
to
you,
know,
comply
with
that
and
I
can
go
into
some
of
the
details
of
that
and
then
option.
Three
is
a
complete
lockdown
of
your
country
of
your
community,
everyone
shelters
in
place
and
we
let
basically
time
evolved
to
hopefully
drive
this
virus
away
and
it
becomes
dormant.
B
C
Jackson's
yeah
it's
pretty
much
based
on
what
I
would
classify
as
projections
after
right
now,
we
do
not
have
a
timeline
by
which
we
know
that
the
virus
was
seized.
Transmitting
in
our
communities
are
when
we
first
heard
about
coronavirus-
and
this
was
a
couple
of
months
ago
in
China,
we
originated
from
CDC
sprang
into
action
to
contain
the
virus,
but
we're
no
longer
in
the
containment
phase.
C
C
We
are
hoping
that
in
the
near
future
that
we
will
have
a
vaccine
to
do
it,
but
in
the
meantime
we
have
to
figure
out
ways
in
which
to
convey
messages
to
our
commune
of
which
I
think
we've
done
the
tremendous
work
at
of
how
they
can
protect
themselves
and
prevent
any
type
of
transmission,
and
when
we
talk
about
methods
one
can
use.
We
talk
about
non-pharmaceutical
interventions,
things
like
washing
your
hands
constantly
or
when
you
visit
a
toilet
or
when
you
handle
something
that
is
contaminated
or
dirty
using
sanitizers
as
well.
C
That
has
60
to
95%
sanitizer
our
coughing
into
a
tissue
and
disposes
dispose
in
that
and
importantly,
stay
in
home
when
you
are
not
feeling
well
and
given
that
we
have
our
most
vulnerable
populations
like
our
elderly
affected
by
this
virus,
avoiding
crowds
is
one
of
them
as
well,
in
which
one
can
prevent
or
protect
him
or
herself
from
the
virus.
So
all
these
methods
and
all
these
measures
that
you
put
in
place
are
results
in
what
maggoty
was
emphasizing.
C
A
B
B
Okay,
tougher
decisions
and
a
tough
decision
that
was
made
last
night
was
by
our
school
districts
district
65
district
202,
which
the
THS,
along
with
a
consortium
of
schools
all
along
the
North
Shore.
Who
made
a
really
tough
decision
to
say
you
know
what
we
are
going
to
move
into:
eLearning,
okay
and
so
starting
Monday
they'll
start
to
go
into
eLearning,
but
yeah.
These
decisions
are
going
to
be
painful
for
a
lot
of
people.
They're,
not
they're,
not
easy.
I
would
just
ask
people
to
realize
it's
hard
to
know
exactly
what
the
right
answer
is.
A
C
You
know
so
what
we've
done
in
response
to
the
coronavirus
situation
is
assemble
a
response
team.
So
the
calls
are
coming
through
our
team
and
we
are
trying
as
much
as
possible
to
of
course
response
to
the
inquiries
and
the
questions
that
they
have.
We
have
done
a
tremendous
work
at
reaching
out
to
pretty
much
all
the
groups
here
in
Evanston,
our
long-term
care
facilities,
our
homeless,
shelters,
daycares,
our
business
owners
as
well,
where
we
have
tailored
information
to
the
population
that
they
serve
so
that
they
can
follow.
Guidelines
to
protect
themselves
is.
C
Right
now
you
know
the
virus
is
a
new
virus.
Are
there
still
a
lot
to
learn
from
this
virus?
This
virus
belongs
to
a
group
of
viruses,
called
corona
viruses
and
with
those
viruses
you
have
stars
in
Mars
SARS
as
a
disease
in
2003
that
was
here,
new
United
States
in
a
number
of
other
countries
and,
of
course
Mars.
C
So
the
way
that
we
are
responding
to
this
virus
is
the
way
we
responded
before
so
we're
pretty
much
taken
a
template
or
on
how
responded
to
those
viruses
prior
and
applying
it
to
this
particular
situation
that
we
have,
because
it
tailors,
or
it
has
the
same
features
as
those
other
viruses.
So
that's
how
we
are
move
in,
and
there
really
isn't
much
known
about
this
virus
and,
as
I
stated,
we
are
still
learning
the
virus.
C
C
Absolutely
yeah
we've
reached
out
to
our
long-term
care
facility
the
way
that
virus
and
the
disease
are
designed.
It
is
affecting
our
most
vulnerable
populations
with,
of
course,
our
elderly
not
only
their.
You
know,
people
who
are
you
know
younger,
but
have
some
health
complications
as
well.
So
our
focus
is
to
ensure
that
the
right
information
is
provided
to
our
long-term
care
facilities
so
that
they
can
protect
themselves.
Certainly
I'll.
B
Just
I'll
just
add
so
in
the
conference
call
with
the
governor's
office
and
dr.
akley's
who's,
a
state
public
health
director
was
on
the
call
as
well,
and
they
said,
80%
80%
of
the
people
that
are
are
getting
covent
kovin
19
are
making
a
full
full
recovery
and
not
to
too
many
complications.
Okay,
I'm
sure
it's
discomfort
and
all
of
that
20
20
%
are
having
much
more
severe
complications
and
so
again
slowing
the
spread
flattening.
The
curve
is
so
we
have
enough
healthcare
resources
to
help
those
20
20
percent
that
get
it
I'd.
B
Also
like
to
add.
You
know
when
we
think
about
the
medical
profession.
We
often
think
about
the
clinicians,
the
doctors,
the
nurses
that
help
us
when
we
break
our
leg
or
need
a
kidney
taken
out
or
whatever
whatever
it
may
be,
I
think
as
we
go
through
this
we're
going
to
develop
a
great
appreciation
for
people
like
oboe
and
everybody
that
is
in
public
health.
Public
health
again
is
looking
at
the
entire.
You
know
disease
itself
in
saying
how
do
how
do
we
address
this?
You
know
a
great
example
of
what
public
health
people
do.
B
Is
they
look
and
say
well
cigarettes,
those
actually
cause
cancer,
and
what
can
we
do
to
get
people
to
smoke
less
cigarettes?
That's
why
social
distancing,
good
hygiene,
all
of
that
is
coming
out
of
the
public
health
community
and
all
of
the
sort
of
direction
that
we
are
taking
as
a
community
and
as
leaders
in
the
community
is
coming
out
of
these
public
health
departments.
It's
not
your
mayor
right.
Making
this
stuff
up
and
saying.
Okay,
social
distancing
is
what
we're
gonna
do
and
there's
a
real
science
to
it
and
they're.
B
B
B
Let
me
start,
let
me
start
off
because
we
talked
about
this
on
the
call
with
the
governor's
office.
Yes,
there's
a
short
there's
a
shortage
of
tests
and
you
have
to
you
have
two
issues
with
the
test.
One
is
we
need
to
give
enough
test
kits
out
there
to
all
of
these
different
communities.
Ok
across
the
United
States
I,
do
believe
from
a
conference
call
as
on
earlier
this
week
with
the
White
House
like
they
are
working
around
the
clock
on
this
and
with
manufacturers
and
everybody.
B
So
that's
the
first
thing
is:
we've
got
to
have
all
the
test
kits
and
there
is
a
shortage
of
the
test.
Kits
second
thing
is
the
actual
testing
centers
themselves
right,
I
think
there
are,
and
I
can
give
the
exact
number
here
in
Illinois
that
we
have,
but
those
centers
can
only
process
so
many
tests.
Okay,
so
we
need
more
centers
to
come
online.
They
did
just
say
that
I
think
it's
called
quest.
Diagnostic
is
now
starting
to
process
test.
B
So
we
are
gonna
have
literally
you
know,
tens
of
thousands,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
tests
that
are
going
to
be
run.
We
need
to
get
that
up
and
running
to
this
gets
back
to
again
what
I
talked
about
earlier,
slowing
the
slowing
that
the
spread
is.
So
we
can
buy
time
for
this
type
of
supply
chain
that
we
need
to
to
get
up
and
running
did.
C
They
are
just
to
figure
back
on
what
the
mayor
stated.
They
are
three
sort
of
five
state
labs
that
we
have
in
Illinois,
one
in
Chicago,
one
in
Springfield
and
one
in
Carbondale
and
most
recently
they
added
LabCorp
two
to
that
list
and
that's
actually
a
private
commercial
lab
that
can
conduct
these
tests
and
also,
most
recently
as
well
they've
added
West
laboratories,
as
the
mayor
indicated
in
another
lab
called
Arab.
C
So
we
and
I'm
hoping
that
these
upcoming
weeks
there
will
be
more
commercial
laboratories
that
are
approved
by
the
state
that
can
conduct
these
tests.
So
when
we
first
heard
about
this
virus-
and
we
sprang
into
action-
there
were
limited
labs
and
I
am
proud
of
what
Illinois
did.
Illinois
was
one
of
the
first
states
where
they
confirmed
that
we
can
actually
start
testing.
So
that
was
extended
to
the
other
labs
that
we
have
in
the
state
which
are
Springfield
and
Carbondale.
So
I
think
the
more
avenues,
the
more
places
people
can
test.
A
B
Great
great
question:
Lucy.
Thank
you.
So
once
the
schools
made
the
decision
last
night
to
shut
down,
we
have
certainly
been
working
quickly
with
the
schools.
There
was
a
meeting
this
morning.
The
city
manager,
the
superintendent's
were
on
I
joined,
I
joined
that
meeting
and
a
presser
at
least
may
have
just
gone
out.
So
I
want
people
that
are
watching
this
to
know
we
did
just
Institute
school
lunches
and
breakfast
will
be
served.
Even
those
schools
have
gone
into
e-learning.
That
is
going
to
start
this
Monday.
B
Ok,
this
coming
Monday
about
a
paper
here,
so
I
could
get
all
the
details
it's
open.
So
this
is
a
cold
breakfast
and
lunch
serving
youth
1
to
18
years
of
all
of
age.
There's
no
residency
or
income
based
restrictions
to
participate
in
this
program.
Free
meals
are
available
to
all
youth
in
this
community
meals
will
be
grab
and
go
okay,
they're
not
going
to
be
meals
that
are
eaten
on-site
again.
This
gets
back
to
sort
of
social
distancing.
B
The
meals
can
be
picked
up
from
11:00
a.m.
to
1:00
p.m.
at
the
following
four
locations:
fleetwood
Jourdain
community
center,
which
is
at
1665
Foster,
Street,
Robert
Crowne
community
center.
This
is
the
new
robert
crown
at
1801
main
street
came
in
Park
East
Fieldhouse,
which
is
at
11:15
South,
Boulevard
and
then
Mason
Park,
which
is
at
Church
Street
in
Florence
Avenue,
and
you
can
pick
up
both
meals
at
the
same
time,
they
can
get
their
lunch
for
that
day
and
then
they'll
get
their
breakfast
for
the
for
the
following
day.
B
So
we
said
we
do
share
the
concern
that
you
and
many
other
people
have
expressed
to
myself
and
lots
of
aldermen
and
other
people
in
this
city
about
what
are
we
doing
to
health
families,
particularly
those
where
food
was
essential,
that
they
got
through
the
schools.
Where
you
know
childcare
is
essential
and
still
we
don't
have
a
sweet.
Avenue
I'll
tell
you
right
now.
We
don't
have
an
answer
for
that.
For
that
question
right
now,
I
know
a
lot
of
businesses
are
also
trying
to
move
into
teleworking.
That
may
work
great.
B
If
you
have
a
high
school
kid,
it's
a
little
harder
when
you've
got
a
third
grader.
You
know
and
you're
trying
to
work
from
home.
I
mentioned
the
beginning.
The
unpleasantness
of
all
of
this.
This
is
one
great
example.
I
will
say
this
we
right
now
we
don't
know
all
the
problems
and
we
don't
have
all
the
solutions.
We
don't
you
know
know
all
the
problems.
Don't
have
all
the
solutions.
People
can
really
help
and
I'm,
seeing
it
on
social
media
I'm,
seeing
in
emails.
B
So
please,
if
you
see
a
need-
and
you
think,
oh
we're
not
stepping
up
or
we
need
to
there's
a
problem
here
and
we
need
to
send
an
email
to
me
or
two
to
our
city
manager
or
to
your
Alderman
and
express
that
when
enough
people
do
on
certain
things,
people
go.
Oh
wait.
There
is
a
problem
here.
We've
got
to
work
to
solve
it
again.
A
C
This
far
as
in
this
situation,
there's
a
lot
of
anxiety,
fear
apprehension
in
in
the
community,
and
it
definitely
affects
people's
mental
mental
health,
and
we
understand
that
and
my
my
message
would
be
if
you
experience
in
all
have
been
overwhelmed
issues-
depression,
because
this
actually
can
cause
all
the
nice
things
stress
you
know
seek
seek
help.
This
is
one
of
those
situations
where
even
on
certainty
can
cause
stress
can
cause
mental
health
and
health
issues,
because
you
don't
know
if
there's
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
C
But
what
we
continue
to
relay
to
the
public
is
to
ensure
that
you
put
measures
in
place,
and
these
are
the
NPI's
and
non-pharmaceutical
interventions
that
one
can
take
in
order
to
protect
him.
That
person
and
the
family
are
also
another
thing
that
we
are
encouraging.
People
to
do
is
to
reach
out
to
loved
ones,
talk
to
people
that
over
the
phone
there
are
some
individuals
in
which
will
meet
what
we
call
isolation,
measures
or
isolation
orders
where
they
are
supposed
to
stay
in
home
because
they
have
contracted
the
disease.
C
I
mean
it
can
be
a
lonely
place.
You
know
what
we
encourage
in
people
is
to
reach
up
to
to
your
loved
ones.
Talk
to
people
over
the
phone
Skype,
video
chat
with
with
individuals
and
I
think
that
will
go
a
long
way
in
making
one
feel
better
and
another
thing
that
we've
been
sending
as
well
is
stigma.
C
There
has
been
some
cases
and
situations
where
people
have
been
stigmatized
because
of
where
they
are
from
or
where
they
have
been,
and
the
message
that
we
are
sending
into
the
community
is
saying,
speak
out
against
negative
comments.
You
know
be
mindful
of
what
you
post
on
social
social
media,
be
supportive
of
individuals
who
are
in
isolation
or
or
have
been
being
quarantined
and
I.
Think
if
we
take
all
these
measures
and
if
we
take
all
these
approaches,
we'll
be
able,
you
know
to
make
a
make
a
good
change,
because
this
is.
B
Can
just
put
a
plug
in
for
neighbors
helping
neighbors,
you
know,
I
talked
a
little
bout
family
and
all
that
there's
many
people
live
in
this
community
that
don't
have
family.
If
you
have,
you
know
an
elderly
neighbor,
you
know
you
know
check
in
with
them.
You
know
if
they're
concerned,
you
know
about
going
to
the
grocery
store.
Maybe
you
say
hey,
let
me
go
I'm
going
to
the
grocery
store.
Let
me
run
and
pick
up
some
things
for
you.
A
lot
of
people
are
again
emailing
saying
what
can
I
do?
I
want
to
help.
B
There
are
lots
of
things.
I'll
continue
to
try
to
post
things
on
my
Facebook
page
as
I
have
time
about
things
that
come
across
my
desk.
That
I
think
people
can
do
to
help
one
of
those
just
came
across
my
desk
and
I.
Just
put
it
up
on
my
face,
my
Mayor
Steve
Haggerty,
Facebook
page,
which
was
there's
an
urgent
call
coming
out
from
the
Red
Cross
for
blood,
for
blood
donations
and
and
again
I.
B
Don't
think
that
blood
donation
call
is
related
to
Cove
in
nineteen
per
se,
but
a
lot
of
people
are
fearful
of
giving
blood
and
remember
life
still
goes
on.
There
are
people
that
need
blood,
transfusions
and
everything
else.
So
if
you're
someone
that's
eligible
to
give
blood,
that's
something
that
a
personal
action
you
can
take.
That
would
be
very
helpful
right
now.
Okay,.
A
C
Question
so
right
now,
according
to
CDC
and
according
to
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Welfare
is
still
a
low
chance
of
people
getting
the
virus,
but
I
keep
re-emphasizing.
The
need
for
MPI's
and
disinfecting
surfaces
is
part
of
them
where
we
disinfect
surfaces,
the
counters
gym
equipment,
club
equipment,
phones,
doorknobs,
that's
very
very.
In
sensual,
in
preventing
a
transmission
of
the
disease.
Currently
I
would
say
there
is
no
risk
for
individuals
to
go
to
restaurants,
but
we
also
have
to
be
mindful
of
large
gatherings,
or
maybe
food
festivals,
where
people
will
be
maybe
in
confined
spaces.
C
That
social
distancing
is
very,
is
very
important,
but
we
are
not
discouraging
people
from
going
to
dine,
but
what
we
enforce
eyes
in,
and
we
also
send
guidelines
to
our
restaurant
owners
of
what
they
need
to
implement
and
provide
strategies
or
how
to
clean
up
how
to
tell
people
to
stay
home
if
they
are
sick.
So
I
think
if
we
employ
all
these
strategies
and
methods,
I
will
be
able
to
slow
down
the
virus
as
we
evolved,
we've
continued
to
talk
about
and
prevent
people
from
getting
sick
and.
C
So
dizzy
is
transmitted
by
respiratory
droplets.
So
if
someone
sneezes
or
coughs
these
droplets,
they
make
it
to
your
nose
or
your
oral
cavity
if
they
make
it
to
to
your
lungs.
This
particular
virus
is
shaped
like
a
tennis
ball
and
it
has
spikes
on
it
and
when
it
lodges
onto
your
your
long,
what
it
does
is
replicate
itself
and
that's
why
you
have
the
symptom
of
people,
but
you
know
being.
C
For
them
to
breathe
that
anyway,
and
what
have
you
so
if
you
are
able
to
maintain
a
certain
distance
of
six
feet,
that's
what
CDC
is
recommending
the
chances
of
that
virus
reaching
you
is
slim
or
it
won't
reach
you
at
all.
So
that's
what
we
have
been
emphasizing.
That's
what
we've
been
preaching
social,
distancing
and
I
can
mention
mayor.
Not
a
lot
of
people
know
what
that
means.
I'll
call
it
to
C&C.
C
B
I
add
one
point
here
that
I
think
it's
really
important
for
the
viewers
of
this
at
this
point
because
we
haven't
talked
about
it.
I
want
people
to
know
at
this
point
in
time
we
have
not
had
good
a
know:
okay
confirmed
case
of
kovat
19
of
an
Evanston
resident,
okay,
and
that
was
in
my
email
or
a
message.
Last
night
to
the
community,
I
did
get
a
couple
of
emails
back
in
the
same
mayor.
B
You
you're
not
telling
the
truth
we
have-
and
this
was
in
my
second
paragraph
of
the
of
the
message-
and
maybe
in
case
anybody
missed
it.
There
is
North
Shore,
Health,
System,
okay,
which
serves
this
wider
area,
not
just
Evanston,
but
this
water.
Every
area
has
taken
in
a
patient,
confirmed
patient
with
Cove
at
19
that
confirmed
patient
lived
in
the
surrounding
area,
not
in
Evanston.
B
But
what
I
want
people
I'd
like
you
to
talk
to
like
is
once
you
have
a
situation
like
that.
Can
you
talk
about
contact
tracing
and
what
your
office
in
your
department
and
explain
to
people?
How
big
your
department
is
the
fact
that
we're
one
of
few
that
have
it
and
take
us
through
the
process
absolutely.
C
So
our
department
is
a
certified
health
department.
It
is
one
of
the
certifying
municipal
health
departments
in
in
Illinois
and
is
actually
the
oldest
health
department.
So
we
have
some
legacy
there.
We
have
some
history
there.
So
when
someone
is
confirmed
to
have
a
case,
we
are
notified
by
Dillon
our
Department
of
Public
Health.
We
talk
regularly
with
our
local
hospitals,
where
they
of
course
provide
us
information
and
they
also
seek
our
guidance.
If
someone
qualifies
as
what
we
call
Pui.
C
That
means
that
a
person,
an
investigation,
this
person
might
be
exhibiting
symptoms
of
you
know
for
respiratory
distress
or
disease,
or
this
person
might
have
traveled
to
a
region
where
there
is
heightened
corona
viral
activity.
So
when
an
individual
has
been
presented
with
a
case,
we
are
made
known
and
what
we
do
is
we
contact
this
individual?
If
this
individual
is
hospitalized,
that's
a
different
story.
We
contact
people
whom
we
think
by
our
investigations,
have
some
type
of
direct
contact
with
a
person
who
has
been
confirmed
with
the
disease
and
we
make
that
contact.
C
We
do
our
assessments,
we
do
our
investigations
our
to
determine
the
degree
of
exposure
and
once
that's
made,
what
we
we
do
is
tell
that
person.
You
need
to
isolate
your
yourself,
because
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is,
of
course,
debar
there's
the
spread
of
the
virus
in
the
community
and
what
we
do
is
we
monitor
this
individual?
We
monitor.
We
do
have
some
devices
where
this
individual
have
to
login.
C
You
know
what
their
symptoms
are
or
if
they
have
any
supporting,
they
don't
have
any
symptoms
at
all,
and
this
individual
is
to
be
isolated
for
14
days.
So
we
monitor
this
in
the
Virgil
on
a
daily
base,
actually
twice
everyday
to
see
what
this
person
person
symptom
symptoms
are
and
after
those
those
14
days,
if
there
are
no
symptoms
developed,
that
person
is
free
to
to
go.
C
So
that's
actually
what
we
do
and
we
continue
to
do
the
monitoring
the
situation
and
we
take
our
guidelines
from,
of
course,
the
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Health
as
we're
conducting
these
assessments,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
variables
when
you're
conducting
these
assessments
and
investigations
and
when
it
gets
to.
You
know
some
of
the
variables
or
some
of
the
very
sticky
ones.
We
also
seek
advice
from
from
the
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Health
to
guide
us
through
some
of
those
situations,
so.
B
Contact
tracing
and
one
of
the
other
elements
that
was
in
the
message
that
we
put
out
was
on
the
medical
response.
Corps
and
again
when
people
are
saying
what
can
I,
what
can
I
do
like
there's
that
something
they
could
do
if
they
want
to
get
involved?
Could
you
talk
about
that,
because
contact
tracing
sounds
fine
when
you
have
one
or
maybe
five
or
ten
cases,
what,
if
you
have
a
hundred
cases,
what,
if
you
have
a
thousand
cases,
how
do
you
possibly
do
this
absolutely.
C
So
we
have
what
we
call
the
Medical
Reserve
Corp,
and
these
are
professionals.
These
are
people
who
are
medically
or
Public
Health
inclined.
So
what
happens
is
and
what
we
did
was
you
know,
send
a
message
to
them
to
say:
okay,
in
a
case
that
we
in
a
situation
where
we
get
a
case,
we
will
need
your
help
and
we
got
tremendous
response
by
people
who
want
to
help
in
a
case
when
we
have
hundred
people
that
we
have
to
investigate.
C
And
as
you
know,
our
department
is
a
is
a
small
department
and
we
might
not
be
able
to
handle
all
the
capacity.
So
we
rely
on
our
Marcis
to
to
help
person
situation
in
situations
like
this
and
like
I
mentioned,
these
are
no.
These
are
medically
inclined
individuals,
some
of
them
nurses,
epidemiologists
professors,
medical
doctors,
who
can
definitely
help
us
help
us
out
in
like
we
got
a
tremendous
response
which
I'm
very
very
happy
about
in
our
MRC's.
C
House,
but
any
any
anyone
can
help.
Okay
when
it
comes
to
an
emergency,
we
require
an
all-hands-on-deck,
especially
you
know,
in
a
situation
where
people
are
tied
up,
people
have
other
or
have
numerous
attacks
that
they
are
performing.
So
if
you're,
not
even
in
the
medical
field,
we
there's
a
way
in
which
you
can
help
us.
Definitely
there's
a
way
in
which
you
can
help
us,
but
the
Medical
Reserve
Corp
are
just
for
those
yeah.
B
That
you
did
ask,
though,
from
the
woman
about
restaurants
in
the
health
club
I,
think
it's
a
great
question.
I'm
asking
the
same
question
myself
and
what
I
would
say
is
again.
Leaders
of
different
organizations,
including
leader
of
your
health
club
and
restaurants,
need
to
be
you
know,
acting
prudently
sticking
with
this
strategy
and
for
any
of
us
that
are
customers
or
clients
of
those
places
to
ask
them
and
tell
them
what
we
want
is
absolutely
appropriate.
C
B
But
I
would
just
I
would
just
say
everything
that
is
that
I
have
heard
on
these
calls
and
everything
else
is
you
know
you
got
a
you
got
a
minor
COFF
you've
got.
You
know
a
sore
throat.
Anything
like
that.
Please
you
know,
don't
you
know
unless
you
really
have
the
symptoms,
and
maybe
you
could
explain.
B
There
is
frustration
out
there
I've
somebody
in
my
own
company
who's,
a
teenager,
not
here
in
Evanston
in
a
different
part,
different
part
of
the
country.
You
know
they're
very
upset
that,
despite
what
seemed
to
be
severe
things
and
a
request
from
the
doctor
still
can't
still
can't
get
the
the
test,
and
so
again,
if
you're
saying
to
yourself
what
can
I
do
you
know
sending
a
note
to
you
know
your
senator
sending
a
note
to
your
Congress
member.
B
A
B
Good
really
good
point:
if
you
haven't
gotten
your
flu
shot
yet,
even
though
it's
late
in
the
season
go
get
your
flu
shot
flu
shots,
not
gonna,
protect
you
against
kovin
19,
but
it
is
going
to
again
relieve
the
healthcare
system.
If
you
did
get
the
flu
and
you
needed
to,
and
you
needed
to
go
there,
so
we
all
need
accurately
Catherine.
B
So
great
great
question:
we
are
all
worried
about
the
impact
this
is
gonna
have
on
our
local
economy
on
the
national
economy,
we're
already
seeing
it
with
the
stock
market
up
up
and
down,
but
the
stock
markets.
One
thing
it's
another
thing:
if
all
of
a
sudden
you're
a
local
business
and
your
revenue
is
down
fifty
thousand
this
month
and
you
have
to
layoff
people
I
met
with
the
hotel
owners
here
in
Evanston
yesterday.
This
is
a
real
concern.
These
hotels
are
already
practically
empty.
B
Northwestern
has
made
the
decisions
they
thought
best
for
their
campus
and
their
students,
and
they
bring
a
lot
of
business
here
to
Evanston
so
they're
and
I'm.
Talking
to
our
you
know,
senators
offices
about
different
federal
aid
programs
that
we'd
like
to
see
turned
on
and
one
of
those
would
be
the
Small
Business
Administration's
disaster
loan
program
or
disaster
economic
injury
kind
of
program.
The
president
talked
about
this
made
reference
to
it
the
other
night,
but
there's
a
lot
of
federal
aid.
B
The
big
question
for
Washington
is
whether
they
would
declare
a
presidential
disaster
for
the
entire
country.
We're
used
to
presidential
disaster
being
declared
when
we
have
a
disaster
like
9/11
again,
it's
sort
of
in
one
geographic
location
or,
for
you
know,
hurricane
Harvie
down
in
Texas
in
Louisiana,
but
to
have
it
declared
for
the
entire
country.
You
are
talking
about
you
know,
potentially
you
know
100
billion
dollars
or
more.
B
It
would
just
be
for
all
the
emergency
response
costs
that
are
being
incurred
by
everyone,
but
you
know
again
to
the
extent
that
you're
practicing
social
distancing
and
all
that
you
know
please
you
know,
do
you
know,
go
to
the
restaurants
here
and
try
to
support.
You
know
business
owners
around
here,
we're
all
gonna
have
to
weather
this,
and
it's
not
going
to
be
pretty.
B
A
B
I
do
with
that,
okay,
so
the
city
manager,
just
so
people,
watch
it
from
home,
though
the
city
manager
sitting
in
on
this
conversation,
she
just
told
me
that
the
city
is
evaluating.
You
know
the
actual
facilities
themselves,
but
you
know
for
your
kid
to
go
out
and
toss
a
ball
around
in
a
park
and
all
of
that
apps
on
a
beautiful
day
like
it
is
today,
it's
fine
unless
they're
showing
any
kind
of
symptoms
of
being
sick,
then
I
should
be
home
and
self
isolating.
A
C
Experts
are
working
day
and
night
trying
to
to
figure
this
virus
out
and
its
virulence
and
its
potency,
how
it
transmits
and
how
it
operates
and
functions.
So
as
information
reaches
us,
you
know
that
will
be
something
that
we'll
share
with
the
public,
but
it's
just
something
that
they're
currently
currently
studying
even
immunity
as
well.
So
you
know
CDC
Illinois,
Department
of
Public
Health.
They
are
still
not
fully
aware
of
how
there's,
as
far
as
this
characteristics
is
verlan
seen
his
potency.
So
it's
still
being
figured
out.
B
What
I
can
tell
you
from
the
call
that
I
just
got
off
with
the
governor
governor's
office,
and
people
have
seen
this
on
TV
when
they're
watching
like
South
Korea's
response?
They
are
starting
to
test
mobile,
centers
mobile
mobile
health
centers,
so
people
eventually
again
when
we
have
enough
test
kits
and
the
people
that
need
to
be
tested
again.
B
C
C
So
so,
what's
our
sauce
pretty
much
began
the
same
way
coronavirus?
It
began
where
there
was
apprehension.
Fear
anxiety
because
it
was
it
was
a
new
virus
and
SARS
had
the
same
symptoms,
so
to
speak
with
with
coronavirus,
and
it
still
belongs
in
the
family
of
corona
virus.
So
one
of
the
differences
is
corona.
C
Sars
didn't
expand
to
as
many
countries
as
corona
virus
and
it
had
expanded
to
so
we
are
talking
about
in
a
tune
of
over
a
hundred
countries
where
we
have
corona
virus
in
comparison
to
SARS
we're
talking
about.
Maybe
25
countries,
including
the
United
States,
where
you
had
SARS
I,
mean
SARS,
originated
from
Asia,
the
same
way
that
corona
virus
originated
from
Asia
China
China,
specifically,
so
there's
some
similarities.
A
C
Anywhere
in
the
world,
and
when
you
talk
about
h1n1,
there
was
a
light
Eddy
in
an
eternal
in
which
there
was
ever
seen
that
was
produced
within
six
to
seven
months,
2008
individuals,
which
were
this
code
with
this
virus.
We
do
not
have
any
vaccines
to
eradicate
or
for
us
to
administer
people
people
with,
so
you
can
see
actually
that
the
differences,
the
differences
there,
but
well
coronavirus.
It
seemed
to
be
a
situation
that
has
affected
the
entire
world.
C
C
Of
course,
vaccines
will
probably
won't
have
until
a
year
or
18
months
so
and
what
we
continue
to
talk
about
is
slowing,
slowing
down
down
as
virus,
so
that
our
medical
systems
and
our
public
health
systems
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned
our
supply,
so
that
we
will
be
able
to
maintain
on.
We
have
some
medical
interventions.
C
It's
quite
it's
quite
a
fun.
It's
quite
a
few
right,
so
we're
talking
about
here
in
the
United
States
a
case
that
began
with
a
few
people.
Now
we
have
over
a
thousand
thousand
cases
in
the
United
States
and
we're
talking
about
over
40
deaths
with
this
virus.
They
are
still
I
mean
you
hear
various
projections
about
about
this,
this
this
virus,
I'm
waiting
still
to
hear
from
cdc
of
what
their
projections,
I
think
they're,
very
they're,
being
very
cautious
and
careful
in
their
projections
of
this
virus,
but
outside
the
country
we're
talking
about.
C
You
know
thousands
of
people
who
have
perished
because
of
this
virus
and
we're
talking
about.
Like
I
mentioned,
hundreds
hundreds
of
countries
over
100
countries
that
have
been
they
have
seen
confirmed
cases
of
the
corona
virus,
so
they've
been
quite
careful
with
the
projection
of
the
number
of
individuals
who
might
potentially
get
infected
by
by
this
by
this
disease
by.
B
This
virus
again
and
there
so
there's
a
lot
of
people
when
you're
looking
at
the
fatality
rate
of
it
that
say:
well,
we
don't
really
have
a
good
handle
on
the
fatality
rate,
because
we're
we're
not
clear
on
the
denominator:
we're
not
clear
how
many
people
actually
have
it
so
right
now
that
fatality
rates,
you
know
over
the
number
of
reported
cases,
but
how
many
unreported
cases
other
out
there.
What
I'll
tell
you
is
the
New
York,
Times
I,
think
it's
been
doing.
B
A
really
good
job
following
coronavirus,
had
a
really
good,
in-depth
analysis
today
on
a
lot
of
modeling
done
by
CDC,
so
I'll
just
share
what
I
read
of
that
article,
which
was
you
know,
running
running
these
models
between
50
and
70
percent.
You
know
of
the
population
of
the
United
States
population,
getting
the
corona
virus
or
kovat
Kovan
19
I
mean
so
we're
talking
again
a
lot
of
people
in
this
country.
Again
we
are
trying
to
slow
it
down
slow
the
spread
flatten
the
curve.
So
we
can
just
elongate
this
to
save
more
lives.
A
C
They
can
definitely
take
the
take
the
samples
and
send
it
to
the
lab
where
tests
are
conducted,
are
the
CDC's
or
behind
intelligence
of
these
of
these
tests,
so
they're
the
ones
who
are
manufacturing
these?
These
tests,
not
our
local
hospitals.
They
are
given
a
test
from
the
CDC
and
from
other
organizations
in
order
to
test
the
people
to
see
if
they
have
that
the
corona
virus,
but
they
are
not
manufacturing
the
test
area.
They
are
laboratories
where
they
conduct
the
testing
they
make
the
test,
but
not
our
hospitals.
So.
C
Now
that
the
people
who
were
being
tested,
other
people
who
or
them
vulnerable
or
people,
horrible
people,
who've
shown
thee,
severe
symptoms
or
people
whom
their
clinician
has
taken.
A
look
at
and
say
you
know.
This
is
strange.
This
is
an
unexplained
pneumonia.
Let
me
see
if
I
can
get
a
test
for
the
corona
virus
once
those
laws
are
relaxed,
was
those
requirements
or
relaxed.
Where
is
available
to
the
entire
public,
we
will
get
a
better
picture
like
ice
mentioned,
of
how
many
people
actually
have
do.
C
B
Again,
just
so
everybody
understands
yes,
we
need
more
testing
kits.
We
also
have
so
much
testing
capacity
at
these
labs.
We
need
to
bring
more
labs
online
they're
working
again.
The
state
and
the
feds
are
working
to
do
that
and
then
there's
also
agents
that
they
need
to
run
these
tests
and
they
need
enough
of
that
supply
to
run
the
tests.
A
B
I
talked
to
Howard
about
the
SBA
economic
injury
loans,
the
disaster
loans,
we're
going
to
continue
to
push
so
those
are
available
and
get
the
federal
government
to
turn
that
on.
That
is
right
now
the
the
only
solution.
You
know
that
we
have
available
to
us,
but
again,
if
you've
got
a
suggestion,
post
post
it
online
we're
taking
a
look
at
social
media,
yeah.
A
C
As
long
as
they
employ
the
measures
that
I
mentioned
in
this
in
this
segment,
staying
away
from
crowds,
maintaining
social
distancing
washing
hands,
not
touching
your
your
face,
your
mouth,
your
nose
as
long
as
these
things
or
employed
people
can
stay
healthy.
So
that's
what
we
emphasize.
We
continue
to
emphasize
it
and
as
a
reason
why
we
continue
to
emphasize
it,
because
we
want
people
to
know
the
importance
of
non-pharmaceutical
interventions
in
protecting
individuals.
C
So
as
long
as
a
senior
stays
away
from
crowds
and
another
thing
that
is
very
important,
take
your
medicines,
you
know:
eat
healthy,
drink
water,
sleep.
These
are
important
factors
to
know,
especially
with
with
with
our
seniors,
in
order
for
them
to
be
strong
enough
and
be
able
to
withstand,
hopefully
the
virus
if
they,
if
they
ever
hits
them.
When.
A
C
B
A
great
it's
a
great
suggestion
and
when
I
talked
earlier
at
the
beginning
about
you
know
we
don't
have
we
don't
know
what
all
the
needs
are.
We
don't
have
all
the
we
don't
have
all
the
solutions,
we're
really
looking
for
a
whole
community.
You
know
approach
to
this.
That's
something
that
I'm
gonna
take
up
to
the
library
director
and
the
city
manager
to
look
into
absolutely
because
it
is
an
issue.
B
C
That's
a
very
that's,
a
very
good
question:
I
would
say
containment
and
I
will
go
back
to
what
I
stated
in
the
beginning
of
our
session
that
that's.
What
CDC
wanted
to
do
is
to
contain
it
once
we
heard
about
this
outbreak
in
China,
where
they
started
to
conduct,
of
course,
screenings
at
various
airports,
but
we've
passed
that
stage
now
in
the
mid
in
stage
so
in
order
to
Kannada
to
control
or
subdue
a
disease
or
a
virus.
Containment
is
important.
C
Another
thing
what
I
mentioned
non-pharmaceutical
interventions,
where
what
you're
doing
is
you
are
not
making
this
virus
available,
because
we
are
that
the
transporters
of
this
virus
and
that's
why
we
recommend
six
feet
of
distance
because
that's
what
it
requires
for
one
to
transfer
that
virus
or
another
person,
and
if
we
take
the
measures
that
we
need
to
take
by
staying
home
when
you
are
sick,
the
the
journey
of
this
dis
virus.
Of
course
it
won't
affect
anyone
right
because
you
ain't
doors,
another
one
would
be
that
scenes.
C
If
we
have
their
scenes,
it
will
tremendously
help
to
contain
and
control
or
eradicate,
eradicate
desire
virus.
But
the
virus
situation
is
still
on
a
horizon.
We
hope
in
life
as
I
mentioned,
and
then
maybe
next
12
to
18
months.
That
will
have
something
in
the
market
something
available
so
that
we
can
administer
individuals
and
hopefully
eradicate
the
situation.
A
B
Great,
that's
a
great
that's,
a
great
question
so
as
part
of
our
approach
to
this
one.
One
big
aspect
of
it
is
public
information
and
making
sure
we're
share
sharing
things,
and
you
know
you
can.
Never
probably
you
know,
share
enough
or
share
quick,
quick,
quick
enough,
but
we
also
want
to
be
thoughtful
and
we
want
to
be
substantive,
there's
a
lot
of
information
coming
at
people
from
a
lot
of
different
directions.
B
So
if
people
found
this
helpful,
for
instance
Bob,
this
is
actually
a
pretty
nice
format
to
be
able
to
communicate
a
lot
of
information
and
really
get
in
depth
and
answer
people's
questions.
That
would
be
my
preference.
The
reality
is,
we
are
getting
tons
of
emails,
I'm
fairly,
responsive
on
email,
but
it's
hard
it's
hard.
These
days.
Honestly,
we
need
our
public
health
director
overseeing.
You
know
the
operations
not
responding
to
all
personal
one-on-one
questions,
and
things
like
that.
B
So
we'll
continue
our
public
information
officer
to
monitor
questions
that
come
in
we'll
put
out
frequently
asked
questions,
so
we
can
try
to
answer
I
think
we
should
continue
to
do
these
sessions
again.
We've
got
the
state
government,
the
the
county
government
running
things
governor
Pritzker,
has
a
conference
call
around
2:00
o'clock
rest
conference
around
two
o'clock
every
day,
he's
having
that
again.
I
I
think
that's
overkill
here
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
We
don't
need
to
do
that,
but
we
do
need
to
keep
communicating.
B
B
B
The
the
the
difference
between
this
one
and
a
lot
of
the
others
that
I've
dealt
with
in
the
25
years
of
my
career
is
they're,
more
isolated
right,
Hurricane
Andrew
stuck
struck
south.
You
know
southern
Florida
Northridge
earthquake.
You
know
southern
Southern
California.
Here
we
have
a
nationwide
and
so
people
are
getting
information.
You
know
from
the
national
media
constantly.
This
wasn't
an
event
that
happened
and
then
it's
out
of
the
news
it's
out
of
the
news
and
a
week.
B
So
that's
that's
a
that's
a
difference,
but
what
I
would
say
is
that
and
everybody's
being
affected
in
the
country,
not
just
any
particular
geographic
area.
The
elements
of
the
response
there's
a
lot
of
similarities
between
response
to
a
hurricane
and
the
response
that
we're
trying
to
trying
to
take
there's
operations.
There's
logistics,
there's
finance,
there's
commute,
there's
communication
and
at
the
state
level
they
the
governor,
issued
a
disaster
declaration
at
the
state
level,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
B
The
federal
government
has
not
issued
that
yet
and
we
don't
know
if
they
will
or
not
again
it's
unprecedented
because
you're
gonna
ask
you
it
for
the
entire
country
and
the
amount
of
money
that
that
would
be,
but
we
also
are
talking
about
the
health
of
all
Americans
and
so
they've
got
they've
got
a
tough
decision
that
they're
gonna
that
they're
gonna
have
to
make.
But
many
of
the
elements,
the
unified
command
structure,
the
what's
called
I
ICS
incident
command.
You
know
command
system.
